Group of Ghanaian Refugees in Libya on wanted list
A group of Ghanaians,
currently on the run in Libya, who on the 17th March, 2011 went out of their
way to assault one Mr Ekow Derrick, the protocol officer of the Ghanaian embassy
in Libya are on the wanted list of the Ghanaian security agencies.
The alleged leader of
the group, Mr Iddrisu Adam, travelled to Libya years ago for greener pastures
has his families in Ghana leaving in awe as the security officers keep
harassing them to show the whereabouts of him.
But, according to the
family they have no idea of the hideout of the Mr Adam as at now. They guessed
that, “he is probably dead”, said a member of the family.
According to our
sources close to the Ghanaian embassy in Libya this group of Ghanaians numbering
in their hundreds were said to have contributed money and gave the said money
to one of the embassy official Mr Ekow Derrick to assist them catch a flight
back to Ghana.
This was during the
heat of the Libyan civil war which eventually toppled Colonel Muamar Gaddafi as
the Libyan leader.
Due to the high level
of insecurity this group of Ghanaians became very desperate to return
home.
The assistance been
sought by this group of Ghanaians was not forthcoming coupled with monies
allegedly collected from them by the Ghana embassy officials, this infuriated
them to the extent that they invaded the premises of the embassy and succeeded
in attacking the protocol officer of the embassy beating him to the pulp.
It took the effort of
some embassy security officials to rescue Mr Ekow Derrick from the wrath of
these angry Ghanaians.
According to our
sources all attempts to apprehend this group of people proved futile as all of
them fled.
The Ghanaian
government is therefore mounting a search for them. It has been rumored that
some of them have returned to Ghana and are hiding knowing very well that they
are being sought after for possible prosecution.
Very serious
